Emergency departments across the province remain busy this summer according to Horizon Health.
As a result, the health authority is urging patients to consider their health care options.
Horizon says patients can also choose an after-hours clinic, a pharmacist, a family doctor or contact Tele-Care 811.
A website has been set up called www.SoWhyWait.ca
Anyone experiencing non-urgent symptoms is urged to consider one of the alternatives instead of going to an emergency department.
